TOPIC:

Even so there will be more than 4 stations present in this matter (from 1st party) and the chance of all them 4 being changed before the 2nd party came along is close to 0%.. And a smart admin could notice by how the stations looks like if it was expanded or not to give more throughput (which would be the main reason why the "creation time" were updated in the first place).

So it isnt rocket science to see who was first.

Also if the 2nd party who added stuff to factory doesnt even complain about it then admins shouldnt even interfere. It could just be a nice thing to do towards others adding some more goods. Unless 1st party doesnt like it ofc

It is not always that easy to see Saber...

And this happens how often? Once a player notices this he will most likely not build more until admin comes so landmark tool should be enough. Now you are just making this a big issue when its not.

actually it happens very often but most cases are easy solution.

Frank spoke of a possible solution/workaround of clearing all doubts. If doable, perfect \o/

but, this topic started as "Opposite of stealing secondary resources", meaning several players delivering to a factory (example) but only one (the one that delivered there first) taking the goods.
ofc, there are several constraints that can be added to the situation but in general it's respecting server rules. As Hawky said, "That's the other players problem. It's his choice to transport cargo to your factory.", since they understand that at any point can claim goods from there! (unless 1st company that delivered there, explicitly allows it).

So, what Joe wants to know is: Globally there's no problem with the situation you described.
But each game is different from previous one, and game situations vary too. In case of fire(doubts),
call an admin to clarify it
